Nice Tender process, slow in Admin, not a good experience so far
AUGUST 2022 - We are first home buyers trying to get our house built as quickly as we can. This limited our search to reputable builders with registered H&L stock at the time. We quickly shortlisted this to Eden Brae and another builder. In essence we put down deposits on both builders to try to get a deal done that is aligned to what we wanted.
SEPT 2022 - During the tender negotiations, we made it a point to highlight that the build start times and build duration is a big factor in our purchasing decisions. After tough negotiations and despi...Read more
te our reservations, Eden Brae has promised us a quick December 2022 date, which we finally gave in and accepted once it was written in our contract. OCT 2022 onwards - the colour selection appointment were satisfactory, as the the schedule was spread over a couple of days which allowed us to really be through in our selections. After this however when EDEN BRAE has started dropping the ball for me. Despite the management promise and constant reminders about not being on time, the admin process was a pain to deal with. Constant delays for quotes (one quote took six weeks to be raised as a PCV!) meant that I could not finalise decisions as I do not know what it cost me to do something in the house. Excessive charges on changes meant I had to stay standard with the build. This rolled on for a couple of months until... now DEC 2022.. my first home is still NOWHERE to being in Construction... Still stuck in admin processes at this point. Completely let down with the experience at this point, however, I will update once anything else happens.Similar opinion?

First time knock down rebuild
We are only at the initial start of the build, but to date it is being well managed.
The workmen to date have been very efficient, and have been happy to answer questions and explain the details to us.
Our customer service administrator, Joanne Forrest has been well above our expectations, in resolving a couple of issues, which occurred pre build. We were kept informed, and alternative solutions were put into place.
At this stage our overall experience with Eden Brae has been excellent, and we look forward to working with our site supervisor Mark, to obtain the high quality build that we are looking to achieve.
We are not at the final cost stage yet, to do an evaluation.

Run out of superlatives for the EBH build experience, from start to finish a great experience.
A first home build, the initial concept was a daunting one however, the team at EBH with specific reference to our supervisor David Elliott during the construction phase put any concerns to rest, reducing the stress levels and making it an enjoyable experience with their exceptional customer service relationship approach.
Davids Professional, Polite and Friendly approach was really appreciated, he provided regular updates, regular opportunities to meet on site to walk us through the respective stages of construction and provided practical guid...Read more
ance/suggestions on certain decisions that needed to be made where we had limited knowledge which helped us make the correct decisions. David also worked to try and provide prompt assistance and feedback after hours going above and beyond to help with the enquiries I had during the build phase. We highly recommend Eden Brae Homes, David Elliot and commend the team on the exceptional customer service and experience provided to us as first home buyers/builders.Similar opinion?

Excellent build, great customer service, regular prompt communication and follow up from start to finish, plus ongoing
From initial enquiries, Sales Consultant, Customer Service Advisor, Construction Supervisor, Thornton Supacentre, our experience has been a very positive one, of our first build of our long-awaited family home, which we built with Connect.
Throughout the process, all questions, enquiries and concerns were dealt with, answered, followed up on promptly and regular updates received in a highly professional manner by all.
Connect Build, 'locked in price' with a 'Post Contract Variation' (PCV) of our Kew 27 home, was a completely finished home wit...Read more
h an excellent layout, the option to choose a pre-designed palate, with alarm, fencing and landscaping, all completed, which made our experience a less stressful one to fit in with our extremely busy lives. Prompt action was also taken after an unforeseen and unexpected issue which arose during our move, to follow up with one of the contractors to initiate their contact with us to rectify a fault. Will continue to liaise and communicate with Eden Brae until repaired and finalised. Should we ever be in a position to build again in the future, Eden Brae would be at the top of our list of builders, especially after researching other builders but now having had the experience we have had, other builders would have a lot to compete with. Highly recommended to anyone looking to choose the right builder and layout of home.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Stress Free Pre Build Experience
As second time home builders we were expecting a lot of the same stress we had the first time around with our previous builder. We were pleasantly surprised from the first time we walked into the display home at Thornton, we experienced no pressure sales and nothing was to much trouble. We thought things couldn't get any better, then we meet Skye. We came across our first lot of stress trying to deal with our mortgage broker and Skye was Supportive, Understanding and able to provide all information required as soon as it was needed. We cant thank Skye and the team at Eden Brae enough for getting us through to this stage, and are looking forward to the next stage ahead of us.

Excellent pre build experience
As first time builders it was great that we were stepped through each stage of the pre build experience..all our questions and changes were acted on and amended fast. Our estimates were accurate even with the changes we did to the initial design plan. The customer service was excellent always contactable generally via email. I recommend building with Eden Brae highly

Perfect service
My partner and I went into this process not really knowing what to expect. Jessica has assisted us in every step of the way and couldn't have been more helpful. This made the process very easy and stress free! I would not hesitate in recommending Eden Brae to family and friends.

Excellent experience and streamline process...
This is our first house, so we were bit worried about all unknown procedures and unexpected things but Eden Brae staff made it very easy for us. We were getting weekly notifications from onsite and office staff of what is getting build and what should we look for.
Many Thanks to Joanne Forest (Admin) and Ben Wright (Site supervisor) for your excellent work.....

Dream Home. Dream Journey.
This was our first experience building and I can safely say we would do it again in a heartbeat with Eden Brae! From the very beginning Kayla our CSA was so extremely thorough with every aspect of what was ahead of us. Being young we were very nervous and I would say overwhelmed (in a good way!) however Kayla made the entire process informative and fun at the same time! She was so personable and built such a great relationship with us. Kayla was always available to speak to us and answer any questions or concerns that we had which we loved! Bot...Read more
h our site supervisors Cam (at the beginning- started us off seamlessly) and Craig (middle/towards the end- brought it home for us). Craig, well we can't thank him enough!! Every fortnight he would send us an update on what was happening, what will happen in the next few weeks etc. He ALWAYS kept us well informed which eased our anxieties, we never had to worry about what was going on at the house because he was on top of it. He came to every inspection with a smile and a bit of banter which was so great. Made it so much more enjoyable. He always picked up things we didn't, had a very keen eye. The house trades did an amazing job, obviously not always 100% perfect but that's why we had Craig and it was fixed in no time! Both Kayla and Craig are absolute professionals and legends and we will miss seeing and speaking to them on a regular basis! Eden Brae are lucky to have them! Finally, Eden Brae thank you so much for making our first building experience one to remember. You will be at the forefront of our minds when and if we build a second home :) until next time, we are now off to make special memories in our beautiful new home!

Great service by staff
The staff handling the purchase of my house and land package have been very helpful and reassuring in regards to my purchase and currently the construction of our new home. From the moment I came to see the Livingston 21 MK3 I knew it was the home for me. Matthias was very helpful and addressed all doubts regarding the purchase and details. Lisa guided me through all the details and modifications I required as well as supporting me when I had some doubts regarding the purchase time. The length of time for exchange of contract seemed to take to long. Steve the build manager has been prompt and efficient in advising me of the stages the erection is at and am very pleased with the Eden Brae staff.

Wonderful experience. Job no: 0023754
Doing a KRB with Eden Brae, just released to the construction phase. At this point I would like to provide my feedback in regard to the administration process. We started planning for the KRB in Feb. this year and were bit apprehensive of the process that got alleviated once we decided to go with Eden Brae. I would like say thank you to Joanne Forrest and Johanna Van Doorn our customer service administrators for providing exemplary customer service during this period which exceeded our expectations. They were very supportive, quick to reply the queries with full detail which was helpful in relieving the stress of building a home. I'm confident that we'll receive similar level of customer satisfaction during the construction phase as well.

Our first home building experience.
After looking around at a number of different designs it came to a choice of 2 designs from different builders. We choose to go with the Eden Brae design. The experience from the sales process through to signing the contract was smooth and pretty simple - even for first timers. Once the build started out site supervisor was great. Things happened as he said they would and he ensured the individual trades did their jobs well. During the process he sent us pictures of the major stages which was very helpful and gave us some conne...Read more

Great Experience for First Home Owners
Had a great experience in building our first home with Eden Brae!
Justine was kind and understanding, and was happy to answer any questions we had regarding anything pre-construction. She was easily contactable and guided us through the process to commence the build of our new home.
Our SS Scott was very accommodating and easy to deal with. He definitely helped us through the whole building process with ease. His knowledge and attention to detail was second to none.
The job was finished to a great standard, with only a couple of defects needing to be fixed after handover. Overall, very happy with the entire building process from start to end.
Cannot recommend Eden Brae enough, and we love our new home!

We are about to start our construction so we wanted to review our Customer Service Administrators, Daniella R and Sarah B, who were absolutely fantastic. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and made sure we had anything we requested within 48hrs. Both made sure we were kept up to date with everything and would inform us of what was required next so we could get ourselves prepared. They were quite well organised and made what seemed like such a daunting process as stress free as possible. They were always eager to help us with ALL...Read more
of our emails and all of our many many questions throughout the process. Tanya T was also very understanding and patient with us during our tender presentation as we were severely underquoted and given a lot of incorrect information from our Sales Consultant. She was wonderful even though we were crushed by the HUGE difference in price from our sales estimate to our actual tender. The beginning of our journey with our Sales Consultant was unfortunately quite unsatisfactory but moving forward everyone we have dealt with to solve the issues have been great and so understanding. We are hoping our construction process is smooth and quick and we don't encounter any more issues. Sarah B, Daniella R, and Tanya T were terrific and we hope anyone who builds with EBH have the pleasure of working with them!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Home construction
We were very nervous about building a home of scratch at first but the whole construction process from selection to build ran smoothly and each step of the progress was updated to us directly. We were satisfied with the management process. We were lucky with our supervisor who gave us confidence in building with Eden Brae Homes. The construction completed earlier than our expected date which was great! There were no delays. All queries we had were answered promptly by the supervisor and regular updates were provided. If we were to build another place we would go back with Eden Brae again. Thank you!!

Great Service
being a second home build, we were given more options and further detail on what is expected during the construction progress. Starting from a basic build is excellent as it allows us more control over where we want the variations to have priority. Kayla has been good to follow through on our enquiries promptly and in detail. We will be shortly entering the construction stage with confidence knowing our expectations.

We just received a quote for Hawthorne 23 Single Storey home for 311,000 and the price goes higher with each layout size. The website says from 226,900 and when we went and met them it was 283,900 including driveways etc per their pricing guide book and now the total quote is 311k.
Has anyone built a Hawthorne (any model), if yes, please let us know if this is legitimate. Our quote has additional costs like Additional earthworks, H1/H2 concrete slab, Saline Soil requirements, dropped edge beam to contain fill, sewer pegout a total of $14000 which we feel is extra. We thought all this will be included in the $283k price. Of course, we understand that ducted AC and other ceiling tiles in bathroom would be additional and happy to pay for extra things we ask for but the above $14k is excluding these costs?
Can someone please advise?
Kind regards
